What does everyone think ,I reckon VK is going for Trafford ,personally would play Muric against City.

both 1 each half:)

Muric 100%

I'd pick Muric.

Judging by VK’s answer re. Trafford at the end of his presser I’ll be surprised if it’s not Muric.

Trafford...I don't rate Muric

The price we paid suggests we intend to start Trafford because it'd be completely insane to spend that much on a No2 GK, but I'd personally go Muric every day. The odd lapse in concentration he can be prone to is worth it for everything else he does.

Play Muric next to Berge if Cullen's not fit. DO IT VINCENT! DO IT! THIS IS A THROWAWAY MATCH ANYWAY.

Against City it might better to play both in both halves

I think he’ll keep faith in a lot of last season’s players in the first game and for that reason I think Muric will play

Muric was absolutely brilliant against Benfica. I would definitely start with him

Muric..experience with us over trafford

Muric for me ... Trafford is not ready for the prem I don't think

To prevent disagreement I think we should go with Vigouroux.

Muric' place to lose, no question.

Muric for all league games, Trafford for all cup games.
But im still struggling to understand Trafford's price tag?

Muric

Kinda odd to pay that price for Trafford as reserve GK, but the shirt belongs to Muric

The problem with enlightened centrism demonstrated in a single sentence.

Muric without hesitation

I might be proved wrong but would expect Muric will start the season as our number one.

There has been some hysteria about Trafford coming in as number one because of his fee. I think that is largely irrelevant.

VK’s style is not to recruit a keeper with the potential to be not quite as good or the same as Music, but to recruit one with more potential, like he is doing with the all the other positions and is open about this with his players.

It’s then up to the players to demonstrate who deserves the shirt the most and at the moment that must be Muric but how long he remains the best is up to how both progress. It’s a tough business.

It's like the hut being painted yellow in 'The Likely Lads'.

Barry's quote was ' Well that's democracy- everybody gets what nobody wants'.

Muric for me

Muric every day of the week (including Fridays).

His performance against Benfica was an outrageous continuation of his displays in the second half of last season.

I trust the management team that Trafford will get to Muric's level and beyond in the future, but they're on different planets as things stand.

Muric all the way but he has some good competition.

Muric

I think there’s more to Trafford’s alleged fee, a little bit of bending the rules by city on ffp

Red Card for Muric !

Muric by some distance based only on Trafford in friendlies

I think VK will go with Muric tomorrow, but that doesn't mean it's his gig for always.

For me, it should be Muric without even a second thought.

I wonder if VK wishes he had spent the £19m on Maatsen instead, i would have prefered him back tbh.

Time will tell whether Trafford can make the step up.

I’m assuming Muric to start the season and as soon as he makes his first error/ poor game he’ll be replaced

What did he say?

Never thought I would say this....



Muric!

Muric's jersey to lose for me.

Muric. Trafford not ready yet and Muric in my opinion is a much better keeper than some on this forum give him credit for.

Muric!

Turncoat

Muric for two reasons:

1. It’s possible that the occasion might be too much for the younger keeper. First experience of a full house, Premier League game - against very familiar ex-teammates i.e. too much respect.

2. Kompany won’t want to risk a blow to Trafford’s confidence in the event of a high scoring defeat.

Muric definitely for me

Trafford..15 million... bench?...naw!

1. Played before big crowds before
2. Has a blinder and we win 1-0
Trafford for me.

Muric- experience and vital that we look after the ball when we've got it

For me the most disappointing aspect of the cup defeat at the Etihad was how we wasted possession when the ball was with BPF

Muric without doubt

Trafford.

You don’t see Miami benching Messi because their existing winger played well against FC no marks last season.

Muric is the experience and tried and trusted. Trafford needs to be eased in gently.

Muric, has to be the easiest selection VK has to make.

Love the fact that you are essentially comparing Trafford’s situation to Messi!

Aye, that 6th place finish in the division below the one that we absolutely walked with Muric in net.

Surely you’re not serious?
